Regeneration does a mighty work for us; but generation has also much to do with our highest and best development. The sins of the fathers must cease, so that the sons may be spared their terrible visitations; the accumulated virtues of parents must roll over on their children in purer, stronger, and better bodies until by a blessed economy the whole race shall be exalted to heirship with Christ through loving obedience to all the laws of physical as well as moral life. Why may we not now, under the laws of redemption, begin to build a new heaven and a new earth, new souls and new bodies. If our souls are redeemed and renewed by obedience and faith, why not secure also the redemption of our bodies? I know it is slow work to teach the subtle but mighty elements of self-restraint. I know the flesh lusteth against the spirit. Yet I thank God who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. APPENDIX. In complying with the request of Messrs. Fowler & Wells for the manuscript of this sermon for publication, I should fall far short of my duty if I did not allude more particularly than seemed appropriate in a Sabbath sermon, to the valuable work which is being done by the Health Food Company, and to the great excellence of its products. If these remarks were addressed to physicians, the simple mention of the name of the company would suffice, because there are probably very few medical men and women who are not aware of the good work of this organization in the matter of providing perfect foods for invalids of every type, as well as for such as are in health and are solicitous thus to continue. The work of the company has, from the beginning, been under the wise direction of a scientific head, himself an original investigator, and having an ample acquaintance with all the truths which have been evolved by modern scientific research. While it is very important that physicians should know all that is to be known concerning improved forms of diet, in order that their large opportunities for conveying valuable information to the world may not go unused, I deem it of even greater moment that the vast body of intelligent readers and church-goers should be made aware of the fact that in the matter of food and its preparation there are laws which are not comprehended by ignorant cooks, which may not be violated with impunity, the scope and importance of which are being more perfectly understood from year to year, and which, in their practical application by intelligence and skill, are capable of accomplishing a grand work in the up-building and re-building of human bodies and brains. Especially am I desirous that my brethren in the ministry—many of whom, I am persuaded, suffer from unsupplied waste of brain and nerve power—should more fully appreciate the fact that while waste of the grosser tissues of the body may be supplied by common forms of food, such foods may
